Abstract Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) with branched structure has abundant terminal groups, high
melt strength, good rheological properties, and excellent processability; it is a new research …

In recent years, there has been a growing focus among researchers on enhancing the
mechanical performance of Additively Manufactured (AM) polymers. The ultimate goal is to …

Ideal wound dressings provide optimal microenvironment for the reconstruction of damaged
tissue. In this work, we fabricated a bilayer asymmetric dressing to mimic gradient structure …

Since various mechanical components could undergo cyclic loadings in their operations,
fatigue evaluation of the parts is a crucial issue. In this context, different experimental …

This paper investigates the fracture behavior of 3D-printed notched specimens under
various combinations of mode I and mode II loadings, including pure mode I and pure mode …

Abstract Failure Assessment Diagrams (FADs) are a widely used engineering tool for the
analysis of structural components containing cracks, and are included in recognised …

This paper aims to investigate the fracture behavior of U-notched semi-circular bend (USCB)
specimens fabricated from the Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) using the fused …

The fatigue behavior of three biodegradable polymers, PLA (polylactic acid), PBS
(polybutylene succinate) and PBAT (polybutylene adipate terephthalate) was determined …

This paper provides a methodology for the estimation of the load-bearing capacity of
additively manufactured (AM) PLA plates containing different types of notches (U-notches, V …

One of the most used additive manufacturing methods in the market is fused filament
fabrication (FFF) due to its affordability and ease of operation. However, identification of …
